Sovereign strength, built through partnership, advancing Africa’s defence capability from the ground up, in-country, for the long term.
ACE is a sovereign defence capability organisation established to strengthen Africa’s defence institutions through military capability development, defence manufacturing, and critical infrastructure protection. Headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria, with an operational footprint spanning London, Dublin, and Dubai, ACE partners with governments, armed forces, and security agencies to build enduring national capability, capability that remains in-country long after each programme ends.
Every ACE programme is anchored in a clear sense of purpose, one that shapes how we train personnel, build industrial capability, and protect the infrastructure that nations depend on. This purpose guides every partnership we form and every engagement we deliver, from the first assessment to the long-term institutional capability that remains in-country, long after our work is done.
We envision an Africa where every government holds the sovereign strength to protect its people, institutions, and future, entirely free from external reliance or influence.
To strengthen Africa's defence architecture through world-class training, manufacturing, and infrastructure protection, built on real operational expertise and lasting partnership.
Every programme we deliver reflects integrity, innovation, partnership, sovereignty, and excellence across each engagement we undertake across the entire continent.
Guided by decades of military, governance, international
development expertise, driving ACE's mission forward.
